🧩 Clean code and quality tools in the PHP world According to the State of #PHP 2025 report, PHPStan has seen an impressive rise — from 27% in 2024 to 36% in 2025🚀 Following that, PHP CS Fixer (30%) and PHP_CodeSniffer (22%) remain strong contenders.

How beautiful and PHPStan-friendly code it is. 🤌

Implementing PHP 8.5 support in PHPStan feels like

Just noticed that my @phpstan extension to detect disallowed calls, methods, attributes etc. has been installed more than 15M times, wow! Not bad for a weekend project (a long weekend since 2018). PHPStan itself has 300M installs, so 5% of all PHPStan installs use it, nice! 😊

Boom 💥 The next #phpstan release will report less false-positives when configured with the optional reportPossiblyNonexistentGeneralArrayOffset: true

In the near future #phpstan will error about your invalid #phpunit dataproviders data 🥰

Finally, PHPStan 2.1.31 can detect one of the trickiest PHP behaviours:

Still busy over here adding support for PHP 8.5 to PHPStan. This year there are many new features and changes for the better. Like Closure::getCurrent() 👇

Today I wrote a @phpstan rule at work that warns you when you use `whereIn` with integer columns. `whereIn` uses the PDO bindings and thus slower with big arrays. Wondering if I should add it to Larastan? 🤔 #php #phpstan

I knew I shouldn't have setup phpstan on my side project 😂

I am caught in a #opensource contribution triangle Adding @infection_php based mutation testing to @phpstan which requires @phpunit test coverage While at it I found a few rough edges in all mentioned projects, which lead to improvements in all of them you will also benefit :-)

Thanks to @gregorharlan PHPStan will support "rawMessage" in "ignoreErrors". You will no longer have to come up with regexes to ignore messages ad verbatum! And baselines will look much cleaner too.

Sometimes it's not that fun to see a fight between @phpstan and @rectorphp to change your code 👀

As soon as your #phpstan pull request fixes a 4-digit bug, you know you made someone happy waiting for this thing for a few years already. just a tiny change for a more recent bug, but issue-bot told me it will make more people happy :)

This usually means my #phpstan contribution will make your life a lot easier

Next version of Larastan will recognize unsigned columns. It works for both migrations and schema dumps! #php #phpstan #laravel

Arg typer is coming allong pretty neatly 😊 * wrapped in single command ✅ * reports number of found types by @phpstan ✅ * same for filled types by @rectorphp ✅ * int, bool, float, string, array covered ✅ * null and ? types ✅ On project with 94% param coverage added 19 new

Na @techmeetupcz zacina @OndrejMirtes s @phpstan.

Hows the Arg typer doing? I've support for method calls, static calls, constructor (new) and functions call. Uses bare symfony/console, PHPStan and @rectorphp, to keep it simple Next up: swithing to ndjson format to remove collectors
